Topic: are ya'll seeing any gas lines (Read 700 times)

yesterday Jewel & I watched cars jockeying for position at six gas pumps. We just sipped our coffee at the coffee shop & enjoyed the entertainment. We left there & passed by an Exxon station that had a normal business, I could have pulled up at two different pumps. I heard a fellow at the coffee shop start worrying about gas because he saw lines forming across the parking lot. Our dogs can be sitting beside us in the yard at peace with the world, but if any one of them jumps up the other two jump up & start to bark with excitement, not realizing the first one was just going to scratch.

Last night on the news, they showed a gas station being shut down here because they were selling gas from their SUNOCO station that had flooded. Cars wouldn't make it down the street before dying because of water in the gas.

Gas supply is tight everywhere for the time being because the refining capacity has been diminished due to the floods. Another week or so it should be fine. Also companies that have fuel haven't been able to get through on the highways to bring it to your part of the state.

the most amusing thing yesterday was a tanker truck pulled in & the driver couldn't get to his dump point. We watched him get out & talk to the cars in the way, it appeared that no one would move, I give him credit for having more patience than me.
